The fuel tank is manufactured using six layer co-extruded blow molding technology providing both high mechanical strength and complete emissions integrity. The fuel tank is a saddle tank design which is mounted under the rear seat floorpan, forward of the rear suspension.
The fuel tank has a storage capacity of 85 liters (22.45 gallons).
The fuel pump collects fuel from the swirl pot and passes it from the fuel tank to the fuel delivery line. Fuel is collected from the left side of the tank and transferred to the right side of the tank by a single suction tube.
An internal bracket allows for the attachment of the suction pipe and the fuel level sensor.
An internal breather is connected to a stub port passing through the fuel tank casing. An external pipe and hose connect this port to the top of the filler neck. This enables the fuel tank to be filled and controls the fuel cut off during filling. Fuel level inside the tank is monitored by two fuel level sensors.
